Coffee House Ministry, and More

Greetings from Ukraine!

In November we worked a lot at the preparation of the candidates for baptism that is to be held on the first Sunday of December. We are very glad for the youths who decided to make covenant with the Lord through Baptism. We pray for them to be good followers of Christ. 

I have taught a course in Christology to the students at the Theological institute. We enjoy the students and pray for them. 

I went live at the Christian radio of our city. A lot of people listen to this radio and they often call and ask different questions. We pray for every one of them. 

We regularly hold meetings for youths at the Coffee House where around 400 youths come. 200 children attend the Sunday school every Sunday. We also organize meetings for the youths of our church where we discuss different current topics. We pray for these ministries. 

Our church hosted a regional women’s conference which was attended by the 800 sisters from Chernivtsy region. We are glad that our sisters in Christ support the ministry through their prayers. They also help the people in need. 

We are getting ready for the winter holidays. We pray that more people could come to church. Our youth are getting ready to go caroling at the people’s houses at Christmas. We pray for this ministry. 

We continue to pray for our country. We pray for peace in Ukraine and to avoid war in the whole country. 

Thank you for supporting us in our ministry. Please pray for peace in Ukraine. 

My family is sending you lots of greetings and greet you with a Merry Christmas! May the Lord bless you! 

Best regards, Postusak Grigory

Day of the City

I want to share with you all the blessings the Lord has given me last month in His ministry.

At the beginning of October our town Chernauti celebrated the "Day of the City" and I was invited to pray for our city together with other brothers from other confessions. This prayer was in the central square of the city, where a lot of people crowded at the prayer for the city of Chernauti and for peace in Ukraine.

At church we had guests from Germany, a male choir and preachers who spoke the Word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. We glorify our God as at the end of the service a young girl repented (her name is Alina).

I also took part in the evangelization at the Baptist church No 2, where they celebrated 40 years since the inauguration of the church.

Spiritual Advice

Besides, I spoke live at the Christian radio in the "Spiritual Advice" program. The topic was “The Condition When God answers Prayers." A lot of radio listeners were asking many questions to which, with the help of the Lord, I gave answers.

We have two more weddings this month and the wedding time comes to an end this year. We are glad that new families are being created in our church, and we pray for them.

Now we are preparing for the New Testimonial baptism that we are having on December 2. I am teaching discipleship to the candidates for baptism and pray for them. We still have many projects to evangelize our city, pray that the Lord will work in these ministries.

Thank you for the prayer and financial support. May the Lord bless you and reward you! My family is sending you warm greetings.

Best wishes, Postusak Grigory

Blessing our Students

Dear brothers and sisters, 

I greet you with the peace of our Lord Jesus! 

The first fall month has passed away! It was a beautiful month in which we could work full in God’s vineyard. We started the month by blessing the students and pupils from our church for another new school year. We prayed for them, entrusting them to the Lord. There came in front of the church around 500 youth and children. May the Lord bless them al!  

We are glad that after the evangelisms we had in September two young boys accepted the Lord.  We pray for them to be strengthened in their faith and to become good followers of Jesus. Already on the first week after the summer holidays our youth gathered at the Coffee House where around 400 youth attended the meeting and had fellowship around the Word of God. 

On September 15 we had the entrance exams at the Theological Institute. 15 new students were admitted to the institute and in October they are starting their study. We pray for them too.

Hearts in Ukraine

On September 23 our youth and the other youth all over Ukraine went to Kiev to celebrate Thanksgiving in the main square of our capital. There were around ten thousand people who praised God for His blessings and who heard the Gospel. May the Lord work on the hearts which still haven’t opened to Christ. We praise the Lord for the opportunity to preach freely the Gospel, so we use any occasion to do it. We believe that the seed sown will not come without harvest. 

Our church celebrated Thanksgiving on September 30. We had a great service where we thanked God for all His blessings: for food, harvest, clean water, peace in our area and other spiritual blessings. 

I spoke live on the radio twice in September. We pray for all who listen to our radio programs. 

Thank you for supporting us financially and with your prayers. My family is sending greetings to you. We pray for you to be healthy and to be blessed abundantly for your sacrifice. Continue to pray for us and for peace in the eastern part of Ukraine. 

Love, Postusak Grigory

Children and Leaders

With God’s help we are at the end of summer, during which we experienced great ministries with youth camps, family camps and evangelisms to the glory of God. We are glad that this summer we worked with youths and children organizing different camps and events for them. After the camps the youth started to come to church and the children to Sunday school. We pray for parents of the youths to accept the Lord in their hearts too. Besides youth camps, our church organized a camp in the mountains for the church leaders from the war area. They came with their families and spent a wonderful week in the nature studying the Bible. At the end of the week they were very excited and grateful to God and to us. We were glad to help them to forget for a few days the disaster they are living in at the moment. We pray to the Lord to stop that war which takes so many innocent adult and children’s lives.  

The Start of Another School Year

Our family spent a week in Romania and Bulgaria. Now we are home and are getting ready for another school year. On Mondays the youth started to get together for Bible study and the kids started their Sunday school. The youth, teens and young families have also started to meet at the Coffee House again. 

We thank the Lord for you, for your support and your prayers. Please, continue to pray for us and for ministry in Ukraine. On September 23rd the Ukrainians will get together in Kiev to celebrate Thanksgiving. People all over Ukraine from different confessions will gather in the main square of our capital and bow their heads before God to thank Him for all the blessings received this year. May the Lord bless the organization of this event and the event itself!

House of Peace

In July V. Antonyuk, who is the head of our union of ECHB of Ukraine, came to our church "House of peace". We had a great and meaningful conversation about a lot of subjects that are very concerned with our churches. In particular, we talked about the challenges nowadays which the church of Jesus Christ has to face. What have we to do? How do we behave and go through this period of history  with dignity?

We had a children's camp on the territory of our House of Prayer. Almost 250 children came here each day to spend time together. They had different games, songs, Bible classes, quizzes and etc. Most of them were from unbeliever families. On the last day many children came with their parents.

Delegates From Other Regions

On the last Saturday of the month I had the opportunity to meet with all the PIE coworkers in our region. Thanks to God for Cornel and Gabriela, who together with the team from USA came to us to Bucovina and held a camp for Romanian children. I pray that the mission of PIE will develop in ministry and encourage people.

In the last days we were preparing to meet the delegation of ministries from Donetsk region in the military action zone. We want to make rest for our brothers in the Carpathian mountains and pray they can obtain new strength for next spiritual work.
